Hero Week at Great Escape

QUEENSBURY The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom amusement park is offering free admission with an accompanying paid admission this week to a variety of people involved in public service. From Mon., Aug. 11 through Fri. Aug. 15, all military personnel, teachers, police officers, fire department, nurses and EMS personnel will be admitted free to The Great Escape when they show occupational identification at our main gate and are accompanied by a paid guest. In addition, up to six guests accompanied by the public servant will receive $10 off the general admission ticket price of $39.99. There are many heroes among us who do good deeds and go the extra mile for others, Great Escape Spokesman Tim Drawbridge said of the promotion. We believe these heroes deserve special recognition for their efforts.
